In contrast to the gritty aesthetic, Marti seamlessly transitions into the realm of ethereal fashion with an elegant touch. He is showcasing a versatility that transcends the boundaries of style. Whether weaving a narrative through the shadows or elevating the allure of high-key fashion, Marti's preference for film lends a timeless quality to his work.

My aim is to evoke emotion through cinematography that enhances the story, whether it's a narrative project or a brand-related piece. My vision is always to explore, alongside other creatives, the essence of a piece, intensifying and strengthening its core message through lighting, composition, color, and movement.
